Canon will have a major announcement tomorrow (Setepmerb 14th). Nikon and Canon usually introduce new products just a few days apart, so I will not be surprised if Nikon pushes out a press release as well in the next few days. I do not have any specific intel, but the Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 and Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 lenses are expected soon. Of course, the Nikon Z9 is also coming, but I expect it later this year unless Nikon just officially releases the technical specifications and starts shipping a few months later.
I was told by multiple people that the Z9 could easily be another “D3 moment” – a significant advance in camera technology and performance (the D3 announcement in 2007 positioned Nikon back on top). The camera will have a “D3 level of innovation” – it will be far more than a D6 in mirrorless form. The dual-pixel sensor will allow an EVF near equal to an optical viewfinder, faster frame rates, effectively no blackout, and no significant rolling shutter. There is also a major update to the AF system. Even critics and skeptics who are testing the camera are speaking very positively about it. Expect to see some amazing Z9 sample photos from surfing in Mexico.
